Glens Falls Art creates one-of-a-kind tintype portraits and scenics with the same process used during the Civil War. These images are made the same way 19th century photographers like Mathew Brady, Alexander Gardner, Seneca Ray Stoddard and others would have used.

Back then, photographers regularly traveled from town to town, making handmade portraits for people. Glens Falls Art mobile tintype studio travels in Glens Falls and beyond, bringing you the same wet plate collodion tintype experience.
